Title: Active jaw for a power tong
IPC: E21B19/16
Filed: 1989-11-27
Granted: 1993-01-20
Abstract: An active jaw (27) for a power tong (1) is provided with an upper cam (30) and a lower cam (32) which are shaped so that rotation of the rotary (4) relative to the active jaw (27) in either sense from a first position results in the active jaw (27) being applied to a pipe via a roller (35, 36). The active jaw (27) can be released by reversing the direction of rotation of the rotary (4). A peg may be used to limit movement of the active jaw (27) relative to the rotary (4) to prevent the active jaw (27) being reapplied to the pipe. Pipes of different diameters may be griped by using rollers (35, 36) of different diameters and, optionally, different active jaws (27) shaped to grip the pipe. In a second embodiment a brake band (42) acts on a drum (40) which supports the active jaw (27). When the rotary (4) is started the active jaw (27) is restrained from rotation. This relative movement applies the dies (29) on the active jaw (27) to the pipe. Further rotation of the rotary (4) then overcomes the braking force and the rotary (4), drum (40) and active jaw (27) rotate in unison. An adjustable bolt (50) is provided to prevent the active jaw (27) being reapplied when the rotary (4) is reversed.

Abstract: La présente invention décrit un appareil de mesure du sang, qui utilise des tubes capillaires (16, 17) pouvant être remplis avec du sang provenant d'une goutte de sang d'environ 1 microlitre. On peut obtenir cette petite quantité de sang en piquant un doigt. L'échantillon sanguin peut être ensuite placé dans une ouverture (1) et un équipement associé est utilisé pour déterminer les caractéristiques désirées du sang par actinoscopie. Les tubes (16, 17) sont montés dans une plaque indépendante (6) et y sont fixés en forme de V, de sorte que les extrémités d'entrée se trouvent à proximité adjacente l'une contre l'autre. On peut ainsi remplir deux tubes en même temps et déterminer simultanément les caractéristiques désirées de son propre sang en comparaison avec du sang contenu par exemple dans un tube préparé.

Abstract: Dans le procédé décrit, qui sert à la fabrication de films en téréphthalate de polyéthylène destinés notamment à être utilisés dans des bandes audio et vidéo, un filtre moléculaire à base d'aluminosilicate de sodium cristallin est utilisé à la fois comme lubrifiant et comme catalyseur pour la polymérisation d'intermédiaire de di(2-hydroxyéthylphthalate). En plus d'éliminer le recours au trioxyde d'antimoine, jusqu'ici utilisé comme catalyseur de polymérisation, ledit procédé permet de produire un film en téréphthalate de polyéthylène dont les défauts tels que bulles de microgel, tâches noires et boutons sont considérablement réduits. La quantité de glycol de diéthylène se formant en cours de procédé est en outre réduite. La dégradation du téréphthalate de polyéthylène, qui contribue à l'exsudation des matériaux de poids moléculaire plus faible, est également réduite.

Abstract: A stopper 1 is provided for obturating holes provided for receiving anode rods in anode blocks 3 used for the electrolytic extraction of base metals during the calcination treatment of the anode blocks. The proposed stopper 1 is notable for the fact that it is designed as a moulding of cellulose-containing material. This makes an exact-fit obturation of the anode holes 2 possible. Granular coke introduced as bulk material for the purpose of oxygen displacement between the anode blocks 3 arranged several at a time in the calcining furnace cannot penetrate the anode holes 2. Undesirable bonded material in the anode holes 2 and burn-out in the anode blocks 3 as a consequence of residual oxygen which cannot be completely avoided during the calcination process can no longer occur. The high strength of the stoppers 1 prevents the deformation of the holes 2 by anode blocks 3 arranged in the lower tier of the calcining furnace. At the end of the calcining process when the anode holes 2 have hardened, the cellulose-containing stoppers 1 are carburised and the carbon or ash remaining in the anode holes 2 can be sucked off without difficulty in a subsequent operational step.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the pacing and processing of inbound calls and outbound calls. Statistics are generated concerning inbound calls and outbound calls, and concerning the performance of each agent for inbound calls and outbound calls. Separate statistics concerning inbound calls and outbound calls allow a more accurate prediction of call pacing and handling requirements and of the availability of an agent so as to maximize the productivity of each agent and control the on-hold time of inbound and outbound calls. Each trunk line is designated for inbound calls or outbound calls and the status of each trunk is monitored. If all of the trunks allocated to inbound service are in use then some of the trunks designated for outbound service are redesignated for inbound service. If more than a predetermined number of trunks designated for inbound service are not in use then some of these trunks will be redesignated for outbound service. Therefore, the rate of answering of inbound calls and the rate of placement of outbound calls, and the allocation of trunks between inbound calls and outbound calls are driven by the frequency, duration and number of calls and user-selectable options. <IMAGE>
